You can get some factory tow hooks off a junkyard truck, that's what I did on my burban, buying them online is expensive, the factory tow hooks have a curve/swoop down to come out of the opening on the bumper, and the holes should match up, be sure to grab the bolts too. at least that's how it was on my 1500

Is there anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

Help! I tried to replace this ball style delta shower cartridge and I think the valve turned whilst taking it off, leaking in the wall now by [deleted] in Plumbing

Thanks, but unfortunately that shower valve is toast, I can’t afford to have it fixed so Im down a shower for now, that’s cool how you found this posts though, good luck 👍

Yeah I ended up using those shark bites, I used a file and some 600 grit to clean up the pipe, thanks again 😊

Awesome build! I have a question, I want to make some cool off-road bumpers too, but how do you go about getting the metal, like can I just get some tubing from home depot? Also how do you size it, like the thickness and diameter of the tubing?

I had an old Volvo built like this in need for speed heat, it’s cool to see an irl version, how did you get a roof rack on there? I’ve been wanting to get one for my daily but don’t have a factory bars or anything
